SWISS::DTs(3pm)

💖 SWISS::DTs 💖

okay bestie, so SWISS::DTs is the lil module that represents the DT lines inside a Swiss-Prot + TrEMBL entry — exactly as the user manual says they should be, over at http://www.expasy.org/sprot/userman.html ✨

It's giving very specific, very curated, very "I know my format spec" energy. 🎀

🌸 Attributes

• CREATED_date — the creation date, aka her birthday 🎂
• ANN_date — last annotation update, the glow-up timestamp 💖
• SQ_date — last sequence update 🌈
• CREATED_rel — created for release 📦
• ANN_rel — last annotation for release ✨
• SQ_rel — last sequence update for release 🧚

💅 Methods

Standard methods

• new
• fromText
• toText
• sort

(yes bestie, the classics — she's got all of them, periodt 🦋)

Writing methods

• set_Created ($date, $release)
• set_AnnotationUpdate ($date, $release[, $version])
• set_SequenceUpdate ($date, $release[, $version])

these are the ones doing the actual writing, the main character moves 🔥

💀 TRANSITION

ok so plot twist: the format of the DT line changes in early 2004 😭 from this:

 DT   01-JUL-1993 (Rel. 26, Created)
 DT   01-JUL-1993 (Rel. 26, Last sequence update)
 DT   28-FEB-2003 (Rel. 41, Last annotation update)

to this:

 DT   01-JUL-1993, integrated into UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot.
 DT   01-JUL-1993, sequence version 36.
 DT   28-FEB-2003, entry version 54.

and the good news?? 🥳 this module supports BOTH formats. she's bilingual, she's adaptable, she ate 💅

So if you wanna convert an entry from the old format to the new one, you literally just do:

 $entry->DTs->CREATED_rel("UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot");
 $entry->DTs->ANN_version(54);
 $entry->DTs->SQ_version(36);

and boom 💥 converted. iconic.

🫶 little sign-off bestie: this whole thing lives in the perl v5.32.1 era, dated 2021-08-15, filed under SWISS::DTs(3pm) — so yeah, she's been around a minute and she's still slaying 🌟💜
